[ogb-discuss] My bank called me on my cell phone:

[Martin Bochnig]

I need to pay EUR 2559.61 back to them.
Within 8 days.
They cancelled my loans contract as I couldn't pay the bill for the third time.

Where will I now take those EUR 2559.61 from? Circa USD 3000,-?

Those of you who really know me a bit know, that I have invested weeks, months and years into doing my part of contributing to making OpenSolaris a better reality (my part of qemu's SPARC host support [together with Juergen Keil and Dr. Math. Johannes Schindelin], FOX for SPARC, MartUX, recently porting Indiana to SPARC).

I think you should re-validate your contributor-sponsoring policy, which is still zero (well, Al Hopper once donated EUR 440,- to me, FROM HIS PRIVATE money. Then one other private person from Sweden has donated EUR 50,- a month ago. Plus two cups of coffee during OSDEVCONF in March and the flight and Hotel and lunch last October. But that's exactly all I ever got. ).

My dream of working for Sun (paid day job) also never came true.
The funniest thing: I'm still only a plain contributor in the xwin-community, so is Moinak Ghosh!!!
Hell, what a joke.

I have to rob a bank.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely
former Solaris-fan,
soon to be in jail,
Martin Bochnig
